FIT AND SECURE
Apply masking tape along the length of the ditch. Locate the rivet on the ditch molding at the rear of the cab.
Measure 200mm toward the front of the vehicle from the center of the rivet.
And make a mark in the center of the ditch. This will be the rear hole for the
Foot Rail
Position the assembled Rack onto the vehicle. Align the rear mount hole in the Foot Rail with the rear mark you made earlier in 4.1 and mark the remaining five hole centers. Check Antenna clearance before drilling. Please contact help center if you are unsure.
Remove the Rack from the vehicle.
Drill a 5mm Pilot hole in the center of the markings. Open the holes using a 12mm drill bit.
**** Clean any excess debris around the holes. Do not apply exesive force let
the drill do the work. There is an airbag curtain below. Use a blade to remove
+/-2mm of the mastic around the hole to ensure jack nut will seat firmly on
metal. Apply anti rust.

Using the installer wrench and a M6x30 button head bolt, insert the M6 jack nuts into all 12 holes.

the hole while holding onto the handle of the installer wrench.
